I'm trying to compile the whole folder with gcc.

Made some makefile (partially copied from different sources).

So I have my project root directory and I need to compile all the C files inside root dir. Makefile configuration:

all: server

CC = gcc
LDFLAGS = -lmysqlclient -lwebsockets
CFLAGS= -Wall -g

src = $(wildcard *.c)
obj = $(src:.c=.o)

server: $(obj)
    $(CC) -o $@ $^ $(LDFLAGS)
clean:
    rm -f build/server
    rm -rf build/server.dSYM

The error is:

Makefile:11: *** missing separator. Stop.

What am I doing wrong?

Please find a way to make all the tabulators (in contrast to mutliple blanks) visible. – Yunnosch Oct 11 '19 at 19:28

You're doing 2 things wrong: using spaces instead of tabs for the commands, and not googling the error message before posting a question to Stack Overflow :D – Antti Haapala -- Слава Україні Oct 11 '19 at 19:29
you use autoconf? – Oct 11 '19 at 20:25
Yeah... I had whitespaces... – xercool Oct 11 '19 at 20:31
